Ukrainian teachers and students can now access Matific free through the All-Ukrainian Online School (AUSO), bringing localized digital mathematics learning to schools and homes across the country.

Matific is expanding its support for mathematics education in Ukraine, with teachers and students across the country gaining free access to Matific through the All-Ukrainian Online School (AUSO).

The national rollout brings together the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine, Ukrainian education nonprofit Osvitoria and Matific, with support from UNICEF’s Digital Education and Global Learning Innovation Hub through the Blue Unicorn Portfolio and WINWIN EdTech Center of Excellence.

Together, the partners are working to make high-quality mathematics learning more accessible to Ukrainian students and teachers, combining national education leadership and local expertise with Matific’s global technology, pedagogy and implementation experience.

Nationwide access through the All-Ukrainian Online School

From September 2026, teachers across Ukraine can access Matific directly through AUSO. The nationwide integration brings together government leadership, local education expertise and Matific’s technology and pedagogy.

Students in Grades 1–9 gain access to more than 2,000 interactive mathematics activities in Ukrainian, alongside tools that help teachers manage learning, understand student progress and provide differentiated support.

Matific can be used across computers, tablets and mobile devices, helping learning continue between school and home. Its offline capability provides additional flexibility when reliable connectivity is unavailable, particularly valuable where learning may be affected by connectivity challenges, power disruptions or interruptions to classroom learning.

Building evidence for what works

Alongside nationwide access, the initiative will build evidence about how adaptive digital mathematics learning can support students in different Ukrainian learning environments.

A 12-week research pilot involving approximately 1,800 students, more than 70 teachers and 25 schools across the Chernihiv, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions will examine the impact and implementation of Matific.

Participating schools include frontline communities and span in-person, remote and hybrid learning environments, including settings where education can be disrupted by air raid alerts, security risks, connectivity challenges and power outages.

The pilot is being implemented by the WINWIN EdTech Center of Excellence, UNICEF, the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and Matific, with an independent evaluation conducted by the International Center for EdTech Impact(ICEI).

Researchers will assess students’ mathematics skills, confidence and interest in mathematics, alongside teacher experiences, implementation barriers and platform usage. Results are expected in 2027 and will help Ukrainian education leaders understand where and under what conditions digital mathematics technology can deliver the greatest educational value.

The research is part of the broader collaboration supported through UNICEF’s Blue Unicorn Portfolio, led by UNICEF’s Digital Education and Global Learning Innovation Hub, which supports promising EdTech solutions with evidence of improving student learning and potential for scale.

Global technology, deeply localized for Ukraine

For Matific, localization is much more than translating a global product into another language.

Effective education technology cannot be one-size-fits-all. It needs to work within the curriculum, language, classrooms, infrastructure and everyday realities of the education system it serves.

In Ukraine, Matific has been fully localized in Ukrainian and aligned with the national curriculum and the standards of the New Ukrainian School reform, ensuring that the learning experience reflects what Ukrainian teachers teach and what students are expected to learn.

This approach builds on Matific’s experience across 70+ countries and 50+ languages, combining global technology and research-based mathematics pedagogy with deep local adaptation.

For Matific, the commitment is not simply to make global technology available in Ukraine, but to make it work for Ukraine.

Supporting teachers with technology and AI

The nationwide rollout gives Ukrainian teachers more than access to mathematics content.

Alongside curriculum-aligned activities, educators can use classroom and progress management tools, real-time learner insights, formative assessment and differentiated practice to identify learning gaps and better support individual students.

Matific’s adaptive AI supports personalized learning by responding to each student’s progress and adjusting the learning experience accordingly. The Matific AI Teacher Assistant extends that support to educators, helping teachers turn learning data into practical insights and recommendations and supporting everyday teaching and planning.

For teachers participating in the research pilot, technology is complemented by specialized training, methodological resources and ongoing implementation support from Matific and the WINWIN EdTech Center of Excellence.

This reflects a principle behind Matific’s work with education systems globally: technology alone is not enough. Meaningful impact comes from combining the right technology with deep localization, teacher support and close collaboration with the people who understand their education system best.

“We believe that the highest quality of education is a fundamental right, not a privilege,” said Craig Shotland, CEO of Matific. “We are honoured to support Ukrainian students by providing the high-quality, personalized tools necessary to turn that right into a reality. Using adaptive AI to align with the national curriculum, we aim to ensure that even in the most challenging times, no child is denied a premier education in mathematics.”

For Matific, this collaboration represents a shared commitment with Ukraine’s education leaders and partners: making high-quality mathematics learning accessible today, supporting the teachers who make that learning possible, and building the evidence needed to strengthen education for the future.
